My invention relates to improvements in neckties of the four-in-handtype andhas fQI, its primary object to provide anarticle of thischaracter which will vsimulate a hand tied necltie and yet is easier toput onand takeonl and will notwrinkle. i

A further'object of the `invention is to pr0- vide a necltie oftheabove-mentioned chail its adjusted position. f Another object oftheinvention is to provide a necl'tie of the above-mentioned char-` acterwhich is simple and durable in construction, rehable and efficient inuse and inerzpensive to manufacture.

2. A necktie of the character described comprising a noose segmentformed from a l sheet of metal having its end portions curvedbackwardly, a narrow tie strip, a wide tie strip having its small endfolded over the uppery edge of the noose segment, a clamping membersecuring the small end of the narrow tie strip to the inner front wallof the noose segment the opposite end of said narrow strip extendingthrough the noose segment and a wedge clamp resiliently supported insaid noose segment, adapted to co-act with said clamping member tosecure the'narrow tie strip in its adjusted position.

3. A necktie of the character described comprising a noose segment ofsubstantially tubular form, a narrow tie strip, a wide tie strip havingits small end folded over the upper edge of the' noose segment, aclamping 20 member securing the small end of the narrow Vtie strip tothe inner front wall of the noose segment, the opposite end of thenarrow strip extending through said noose segment and a wedge clampsecured to the upper end of the 2; wide tie strip within said noosesegment,

adapted to co-act with said clamping member yto secure the narrow tiestrip in its adjusted position.

4. Ak necktie of the character described comprising ra noose. segment ofsubstantially tubular form., a. narrow tie strip, a wide tie striphaving its small end folded over the upper edge of the noose segment, aclamping member securing the small end of the narrow gjtie stripA to theinner front wall of the noose segment, the opposite end of the narrowstrip extending through said noose segment, a Wedge clamp disposedwithin said noose segment, and an elastic strip suspending said t wedgeclamp from the upper end of the wide tie strip, adapted to hold thewedge clamp in clamping engagement with the narrow tie strip. y Y
